About This Feature
Overview
Object is an insert feature in WPS Presentation for Windows. It lets you embed documents and content from other applications into a slide so related materials can stay inside the same presentation.
Core capabilities include:
- Create a new object: create a new document, worksheet, chart, or slide object from the Insert Object dialog box.
- Create an object from a file: insert an existing file into the current slide, with an optional link when needed.
This feature is useful for teaching materials, project reports, proposal decks, and other presentation workflows that need supporting files in one place.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can use Insert > Object to create a new object or create one from a file and place it in a slide. | Word supports inserting a new object, or embedding and linking an existing file object, and it can display the object as an icon. | Google Docs mainly provides smart chips for files, dates, events, and related references, with more emphasis on linked information and collaboration. | Notion supports embeds for external content, Google Drive files, and media, and also supports uploaded files and embed links. | Acrobat supports adding audio, video, and interactive objects to PDFs, and it can also link to media on the web. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps object creation and file insertion inside the presentation editing flow, which is practical for slide-based reporting and teaching materials. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance here focuses on object insertion in Word or Outlook, which is more document- and email-centered. | Compared with WPS: Google's official feature is centered on smart chips and linked references rather than traditional embedded object insertion in slides. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more suited to page-based content aggregation and embeds than slide-level object insertion. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on multimedia and interactive objects in PDFs rather than object management in presentation slides. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to create a new object or embed an existing file directly in a presentation slide, WPS Object is closely aligned with slide editing workflows on Windows. The other products also support references, embeds, or interactive content, but their official feature focus is more centered on documents, collaborative pages, or PDFs.
